H93.293 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other abnormal auditory perceptions, bilateral. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code H932 is used to code Hyperacusis

Hyperacusis (also spelled hyperacousis) is a health condition characterized by an increased sensitivity to certain frequency and volume ranges of sound (a collapsed tolerance to usual environmental sound). A person with severe hyperacusis has difficulty tolerating everyday sounds, some of which may seem unpleasantly or painfully loud to that person but not to others.
